excerpt from Dawny's blog:
A study into the minor's accessibility of pornography in Cambodia: (Some research findings in the report)
51% of all minors surveyed indicated they have viewed pornography. (sample size of 677)
A clear gender influence was seen, with 61.7% of boys vs. 38.5% of girls indicating they have viewed some type of pornographic material.
Of the more than 230 vendors surveyed, 69.5% in Phnom Penh had pornography available, in 49% of locations pornography was openly on display.
One-third of Phnom Penh locations selling pornography were near a school.
"The boys from one interview group said that they enjoyed watching violence, and that most men do. When asked how it makes them feel, one boy replied, “We want to do what we see.” They are quick to say that they do not hurt women, but will use strong language and raise their voices to prostitutes after watching these films. They also said that they are sure that watching violent pornography made men violent towards women encouraged rape.
When asked about whether the boys think it is right to treat women the way they see in films, they all said that they believed women enjoy being hit during sex and it heightens the women’s sexual pleasure.” They did not respond when asked if they
think this is merely what the films want them to believe."
"The boys explained that they go to watch these films at the coffee shops every evening, as they have nothing else to do, and if they can afford it they will visit a prostitute afterwards. They added that it is not possible to watch these films without having sex or masturbating afterwards, and that it isn’t uncommon for men who cannot afford a prostitute to pick up a girl off the street and rape her"tsk.
